Milan

5 years experience | TECH SALES ROLES AT google, supersight ai, stability ai, ucl masters

Hi, I’m Milan, co-founder of Break Into Tech.

I came to the UK in 2007 as an immigrant who didn’t speak a word of English. I was placed in the bottom set at school, and the odds were stacked against me. But I knew I was capable of more. In 2019, I became the first student from Coventry University to land an internship at Google — a turning point that showed me the tech industry holds the biggest opportunities.

After graduating, I was stuck in a low-paying sales job earning just £30K. In 2021, I broke into tech sales — tripled my income, and earned over £100K.

Today, I work at a leading AI company with the potential to make multiple six figures. Now, I’ve made it my mission to help others from underrepresented backgrounds do the same — and build the life-changing careers they deserve.

Career Highlights

- First student from Coventry University to secure an internship at Google

- 5+ years of experience across top AI companies, including Supersight AI and Stability AI

- Mentored 500+ of students from underrepresented backgrounds into high-paying tech roles

- Holds a Master’s degree from UCL and a proven track record in enterprise sales

Lara

4 YEARS EXPERIENCE | WORKED AT LEADING LEGAL TECH AI STARTUP, EX QUALIFIED COMMERCIAL LAWYER

Meet Lara — my wife and co-founder of Break Into Tech.

After 8 years in the legal industry, Lara was still being offered £55K salaries that demanded long hours, five days a week in the office — often in toxic environments. As a woman of colour, she never felt like she truly belonged. So she made a bold move: she left law behind and pivoted into tech sales.

It was a game-changer. Lara started earning significantly more, with far greater flexibility, freedom, and growth. For the first time, she found a career that respected both her time and her talent. Now, she’s on a mission to help other women and career-switchers do the same.

Career Highlights

- 8+ years of experience as a qualified commercial lawyer before pivoting to tech sales

- Worked at a leading LegalTech AI startup, driving growth and client success

- Increased earnings by over 80% in her first year after switching careers

- Advocate for women and career-switchers breaking into tech sales
